SEC. 1A. (a) (1) As used in this section the term "Canadian imports" means imports from Canada of crude oil which has been produced in Canada and unfinished oils which have been derived from crude oil or natural gas produced in Canada and which have been transported into the United States by overland means or over waterways other than ocean waterways. The provisions of clause (4) of paragraph (a) of section 1 of this proclamation shall have no applications to Canadian imports into Districts I-IV through December 31, 1972.

(2) During the period January 1, 1972 through December 31, 1972, Canadian imports under allocations made pursuant to this subparagraph (2) into Districts I-IV shall not exceed an average of 570,000 barrels per day. Entries for consumption of crude oil or unfinished oils transported by pipeline may be made until midnight January 15, 1973 under any license authorizing such

imports from Canada for that period and until midnight January 15, 1972 under any license authorizing such imports from Canada for the preceding allocation period. The Secretary shall by regulation provide for allocations of such imports. The regulations shall provide that licenses issued under such allocations shall permit the entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption of Canadian imports only.

(3) The Secretary may, within the level prescribed by paragraph (a) (1) of section 2 of this proclamation, permit the importation of additional quantities of Canadian imports.

Sec. 2(a) (1). Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, the maximum level of imports (exclusive of Imports from Canada provided for in paragraph (a) of section 1A), subject to allocation, of crude oil, unfinished olls, and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) into Districts I-IV for a particular allocation period, shall be an amount equal to the difference between (1) 1,165,000 barrels per day during that allocation period and (11) the quantity of crude oil and unfinished oils which may be imported pursuant to paragraph (h) of section 1A of this proclamation during the particular allocation period plus the quantity estimated by the Secretary by which shipments of unfinished oils and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) from Puerto Rico to Districts I-IV during that allocation period will exceed the quantity (as adjusted by the Secretary as he may determine to be consonant with the objectives of this proclamation) so shipped during a comparable base period in the year 1965. Within this maximum level, imports of unfinished oils and imports of finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) shall not exceed such levels as the Secretary may determine to be consonant with the objectives of this proclamation. In addition to the imports permitted under the first sentence of this paragraph, for the period January 1, 1971 through December 31, 1971, and for each allocation period thereafter, there may be imported into District I, an average of 45,000 barrels per day of No. 2 fuel oil, manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere, for allocation, under regulations of the Secretary, to persons in the business in District I of selling No. 2 fuel oil who do not have crude oil import allocations into Districts I-IV and who operate deep water terminals in District I or have through-put agreements with deep water terminal operators in District I who do not have crude oil import allocations into Districts I-IV, on a fair and equitable basis, to the extent possible, in relation to such persons' inputs of No. 2 fuel oil to such terminals, having regard to any product import allocations into Districts I-IV made to such persons. In addition to the quantity of No. 2 fuel oil provided in the preceding sentence, the Secretary may allocate for the period January 1, 1972, through December 31, 1972, an additional 5,000 barrels per day of such fuel oil to persons who qualify for allocations under the preceding sentence. No person who manufactures in Puerto Rico No. 2 fuel oil from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere shall incur a reduction of an allocation or be deemed to have violated a condition of an allocation by reason of a shipment of such oil to a person who holds an allocation under the preceding sentence and who relinquishes an amount of the allocation equal to the amount so shipped, so long as the total of all such shipments from Puerto Rico during a particular allocation period does not exceed an average of 5,000 barrels per day. Whenever the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, as a result of his surveillance under paragraph (a) of section 6, finds that because of supply, price or other considerations, the requirement that such No. 2 fuel oil be manufactured and produced in the Western Hemisphere is restricting the availability of such oil for importation into District I and is not required for the national security, he shall so advise the Secretary who may then suspend such requirement by appropriate

[merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

(4) With respect to the allocation of imports of finished products, other than residual fuel oils to be used as fuel, into Puerto Rico, such regulations shall, to the extent possible, provide (1) for a fair and equitable distribution of imports of such finished products among persons who have been importers of such finished products into Puerto Rico during the base period specified by the Secretary pursuant to section 2 of this proclamation, and (11) for the granting and adjustment of allocations of imports of such finished products into Districts I-IV, District V, and Puerto Rico, in accordance with procedures established pursuant to section 4 of this proclamation. In addition the Secretary may make an allocation of imports, not in excess of 15,000 average barrels per day in any particular allocation period, into Districts I-IV of finished products other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel if the Secretary determines that such action would not impair the accomplishment of the objectives of this proclamation and that such action would serve substantially to promote employment or substantially to upgrade opportunities for employment of Virgin Islanders or substantially to increase revenues received by the Virgin Islands, and the Secretary shall impose such conditions and restrictions upon such allocation as he may deem necessary to assure that the holder of the allocation fulfills commitments made in connection with the making of the allocation. Whenever the Secretary, upon recommendation of the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, finds that there may be shortages in the supply of any finished product or products in Districts I-IV, which products are deemed by the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness to be important to the national security, the Secretary may allocate imports of any such product or products manufactured in the Virgin Islands in excess of the limitation in the preceding sentence for such product or products, for such time and under such conditions as he may deem consistent with the purposes of this proclamation.

SEC. 3A. Commencing with the allocation period January 1, 1973, through December 31, 1973, the Secretary, with the concurrence of the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, is authorized to make an interim allocation for any allocation period or portion thereof to any person who held an allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils or of No. 2 fuel oil during the preceding allocation period. No such interim allocation shall exceed the like allocation held in such pre

ceding allocation period by such person. However, the Secretary may adjust the allocation to any person limited by the previous sentence if such person would have been eligible for a larger allocation in 1973 under the regulations applicable during the allocation period commencing January 1, 1972. Any license issued under such interim allocation may be utilized for imports hereafter entering the United States prior to December 31, 1972, if authorized by the Secretary. Any allocation subsequently made to any person who receives an interim allocation pursuant to this section, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the interim allocation made pursuant to this section.
